I’m not going to lie, Shiner has a soft spot in my heart. A visit to the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas has a firm spot on my bucket list just after “shoot a wild pig” and before “cook said wild pig” as what would be better with pig than some beer straight from Spoetzl?

Alright, let’s get to it. Cool branding/packaging aside, this is a pretty good beer and while drinking it I couldn’t help but think it is appropriately named – it’s like holiday cheer in a bottle. This is a dark wheat ale that is amber in color. It is brewed with peaches and pecans which helps give it a sweet taste which you can really pick up on after that first swig. Honestly it’s a bit difficult to think of another beer to compare it to as its taste is distinctively different than anything I’ve had. If you’re a fan of wheat beers you should give this a shot and as it says on the back label, ” May your days be merry and bright and your Shiner be cold. Prosit!”
